• Ag Sciences: “Clean Water Stewardship” [aquatic pollution, 200‐300 level]
• Business: “Law and Business of the Sea” [creation of law andregulation for wicked problems, 300‐level]
• Liberal Arts: “Society, Culture, and the Marine Environment: AStory of Identity and Change” [shifting baselines in coastalcommunities, 200‐300 level]
